There are lots of talented vloggers and bloggers with wedding DIY tutorials which are both informative and inspiring, however what they create isn't always achievable, it's not always as cheap as you think, it takes you time and can cause you stress. That's why we have professional wedding suppliers who do what you try to recreate from a video as a full time job.

Now don't get us wrong, we know how pricey a wedding can be but professionals have a particular set of skills, skills they have acquired over a very long career (I knew I'd get a Taken quote in a blog one day!) and they are worth the investment. Here's a few reasons why

Wedding Photos and Video

I know it can be tempting to leave your photos and video to one or several well meaning guests but don't make the mistake of thinking photographers and videographers just turn up on the day, point and shoot. Nope! They have a narrative in mind, they understand the light and they know when key moments of the day are going to happen so they can capture them perfectly. Once the day is done, the guests have gone home and the presents have been opened it's only the photos and video you have as a keepsake, how disappointing would it be if they were rubbish and you couldn't relive the day through them?

Wedding Flowers

When it comes to flowers I know it can sometimes look like a lot of cash to drop and it's hard to believe flowers cost that much. But remember, you're also paying for someone's expertise and time. Trust us - it's worth it, do you really want to spend the morning before your wedding up at 5am trying to get the best deals on blooms and THEN spend hours arranging them, hanging them and transporting them to the right place. Florists have years of experience, they know how to work with a space, they know what's in season and what works well together. If you just pick up a bunch of flowers at your local supermarket every now and then, don't fool yourself into thinking you're a flower arranger extraordinaire.

It's not just bouquets, florist's love the opportunity to get creative, you can check out some of our favourite flowers!

Wedding Decor and Favours

Now this is the mother of all DIY. They take you hours and don't always turn out the way you expect. I'm not going to say anything else, I'll just let the photos tell the story.
